For Great Uncle Gene Ray Edds’ 80th Birthday, Daddy Dave and Grandpa organized a family reunion. In addition to our more regionally-based family, Daddy invited all of Gene Ray’s nephews, nieces and more. For those who arrived early, we met for dinner Friday night. The man in suspenders is Great Uncle Dick Williams. He was married to Grandpa’s sister and they had three sons. After she passed away in 1970, he married Faye, the lady sitting beside him. They traveled all the way from Maryland. His son Al Williams, standing next to me, and his wife Rita and son Rick drove all night from Colorado to be here. Tomorrow afternoon, Daddy and Grandpa will give them a driving tour of Owensboro visiting the houses, schools and churches the Williams knew when they lived here 40 years ago. Al’s brother David Allen Williams, his wife Lynne and daughter Katie will join us tomorrow night at the birthday party.
